” The first day of class should connect to the last day and every day in between!”
Refresh this page every time you arrive! This page changes and sometimes many times in the same day. Its a fluid site. I post what I think we will do and then repost what we accomplish. Homework posted is to be done at home and not completed days ahead of time. What is posted ahead is subject to change and may not be updated. There is a sequence that needs to be followed.

Period 3:
*Fast Plants – Germination Observations
1. Reviewed aspects of yesterdays discussion – Fast Plants Connections.
– Write the objectives for the lab – What is the overall purpose of Lab 1?
2. Introduced the concepts of IV, DV, and a Hypothesis through Lab 2 – percent germination in varying light.
– Identified IV, DV, and HYPOTHESIS for Lab 2
3. Germination Data collection/ observations – Day 1
– Made a diagram of planter and identified each square as germinated or ungerminated.

For Period 4: Complete the calculation of the mean, and standard deviation for the 30cm group, and 36 cm group in period 4 AND Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the 2 groups in period 7. You need do this a total of 8 times since we are calculating Day 1 and Day 2 for each group.
For Period 7: Complete the calculation of the mean and standard deviation for the 36cm group- and 42cm group in period 7 AND Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the 2 groups in period 4. You need do this a total of 8 times since we are calculating Day 1 and Day 2 for each group.
